Abstract excerpt
The real-time TaqMan RT-PCR assay (Pang et al., 2004) did not detect 14 clinical samples with rotavirus G2 genotype. Three to five nucleotides (nt) were found to be mismatched between the published forward primer when compared to G2P[4], G2P[8], G3P[4], G9P[4], G8 and G12 sequences. An additional...
